The Midlife Reset
It’s not a crisis, it’s a chrysalis.
Learn how to redesign your work or business to make it work better for you, not just those you serve.
It’s time to let go of what no longer serves you, to make room for a richer second half of life.

Rediscover your true north when the old maps no longer fit
When we opened registration for this masterclass just 48 hours before the first edition, something remarkable happened: over 100 people from around the world immediately signed up.
A room full of big-hearted coaches, consultants, leaders, creatives, and founders, all navigating the same question:
How do I create the next chapter of my life and work without losing myself in the process?
People showed up ready to explore, share, and reflect. And what we found was something universal:
We’re all living through transitions. Some we choose. Others choose us.
We wish for life to be simple, but things happen. What follows is the creative process of making sense of it all.
If you're feeling this too, you're in exactly the right place.
You're not alone in this
Maybe your life looks successful from the outside. You've built something. Achieved things. Ticked the boxes.
But lately, something feels... off.
The career that once excited you now feels hollow. The identity you've worn so comfortably suddenly feels tight.
The life scripts you've been following - about what success should look like, what you should be doing - start to feel like someone else's story.
Why this work matters
Life isn't linear. It's a series of transitions.
We're taught to think of life as a straight path: goals, milestones, progress. But the truth? Life moves in cycles. Endings. Messy middles. New beginnings.
And at midlife, this becomes impossible to ignore.
The foundations we've relied on - our identity, our routines, our sense of direction - start to shift. We begin asking different questions:
What really matters now?
How do I find meaning while still making a living?
What's actually stopping me from moving forward?
These aren't questions you can answer by pushing harder or forcing clarity.
They require something else: pausing. Listening.
Reconnecting to your needs, your energy, and your sense of what makes you feel alive.
The three stages of any meaningful reset
Navigating change from the inside out is at the heart of what we do now.
Every transition follows a rhythm; we just rarely stop to notice it.
Here’s how we explored it together:
1. Letting go
Space-making for what's next
Before something new can begin, something old must end. Not as failure, but as composting - making room for fresh growth.
Reflection prompt: What might you need to release - a responsibility, a belief, a way of working - to make space for something new?
2. The messy middle
Staying curious in the unknown
This is the uncertain space between what's ending and what hasn't yet begun. It's disorienting, yes. But it's also full of potential.
In this middle zone, the goal isn’t to rush through but to stay curious and sense what’s emerging - and reconnect with what truly gives you energy.
Reflection: What feels unclear or stuck right now? It could be around work, money, time, relationships, or meaning.
Try journaling for five minutes on where things feel heavy or confusing, not to fix it, but to name it.
3. Inviting the new
Sensing the direction of aliveness
Once you've made space and named where you are, you can begin imagining what's next. Not through SMART goals, but by sensing: What would a deeply fulfilled life feel like?
Reflection prompt: Imagine it's two years from now. You wake up feeling deeply alive.
What are you doing?
Who's around you?
How does your work feel?
Write a postcard from your future self.
Try this yourself (but it's even better together)
You can explore these questions right now - grab a notebook, find a quiet corner, and reflect on your own. These prompts are powerful even in solitude.
But here's what we've learned over years of this work:
Something different happens when you do this alongside others who are navigating the same terrain.
When you hear someone else name what you've been feeling but couldn't quite articulate.
When you realise you're not the only one questioning everything. When you allow yourself to be witnessed in your uncertainty.
That's why we created these live masterclasses - not just to give you the tools, but to give you the space and the company for the journey.

“I got way more than I expected... answers to questions I've asked myself a million times... it's never too late to start something new.”

Setting the scene
The guided exercises
For many people, this masterclass is the beginning of a deeper journey.
If you find yourself wanting more - more time, more structure, more community as you navigate your reset - our Vision 20/20 program might be the next step.
It's a 5-month journey where we go much deeper into redefining success, harnessing your story, making happy money, and showing up authentically.
But first? Start here. See how it feels.
Trust what emerges.

The midlife rennaisance
We were joined on our podcast by Chip Conley, founder of the Modern Elder Academy and best-selling author of one of the best books for midlife, Learning to Love Midlife: How to Embrace What’s Next. Chip offered profound insights from his work and personal journey, showing how midlife is not a crisis but an opportunity to curate the rest of your life with more intention, joy, and freedom.

Redefining success
When was the last time you stopped to define what success means to you? Redefining success isn’t about throwing away what you’ve built. It’s about consciously choosing what fits - and releasing what doesn’t. If you’re feeling that familiar tug, that sense that there might be another way to live and work, you’re not imagining it.

The second mountain
Many of us spend our lives on what David Brooks calls the first mountain. Happiness here tends to be individual. Some never leave this place. Whereas others come to the realisation that the first mountain wasn’t their mountain after all, and maybe there’s another mountain that’s actually theirs. One that doesn’t mean rejecting the first chapter of their life, but seeing it as the journey after that that counts.
